YAMAHA DFP9C Twin Pedal

The new Yamaha single bass drum pedal is a combination of exceptional engineering capabilities, custom performance, and stunning design, setting a completely new approach for the Japanese manufacturer in the field of percussion equipment.

Yamaha's design was inspired by the YZF-R1 motorcycles produced by the brand. The lightweight, cast aluminum footboard features chrome exterior elements that contrast beautifully with the matte black of the beater and spring mechanism, brushed steel, and polished blue components. The electric blue color of the bearing housing and the white Yamaha logo on the footboard create a distinctive look that was missing from the company's previous pedals.

In addition to visual improvements, Yamaha has built a range of great new components that help customize playing feel, improve performance, and increase stability. In the double chain model, you can choose the starting position of the cam, which results in a smoother action with even tension throughout the pedal stroke, or an action with a lighter feel at the start but a stronger snap at the final stage of the stroke, extracting more attack from the drum.

The pedal is equipped with footboard bearings that replace standard links, ensuring incredibly smooth responses. The footboards are designed in a way reminiscent of some longboard-style pedals.

The round, massive felt beater is equipped with a weight adjustment system. A spring nut on the beater shaft can hold the included steel or brass weights to increase the default weight. Simply slide the nut down, insert one or both washers to choose your preferred weight, and start playing!

One of the most functional patents in the new Yamaha pedal is the spring tension adjustment system, which, compared to the standard mechanism positioned perpendicular to the ground, is angled directly towards the player. This allows for comfortable and ergonomic adjustment of the tension force using a knob, which significantly streamlines this task. This patent will be especially appreciated by those who like to experiment with pedal settings and don't like constantly repositioning other kit elements to bend down to the pedal without removing it from the bass drum. Extendable spikes to prevent slipping have been moved to the heel area, where the greatest pressure is applied during playing. Mounting to the drum hoop is done using a rubber-protected clamp, and the tightening wing bolt is placed on the side of the base plate for greater user convenience.

Out of the box, the pedal makes a huge impression! You can definitely feel the ease of play under your feet, but also the vast possibilities for customizing every aspect, making it easy to find the right feel. The new Yamaha pedal line consists of stylish, easy-to-use, and incredibly smooth-operating tools.

In the double version, the left and right pedals are connected by a lightweight, aluminum drive shaft with adjustable spacing between the platforms, whose low mass guarantees almost lossless energy transfer from the pedal mechanism to the beater.
